From the Union’s sharp criticism of the planned climate protection act, the environment Minister Svenja Schulze (SPD). “Climate protection can not work,” said the CDU energy expert Jens Koeppen, the German press Agency in Berlin. “Anyone who believes, as of rules and thumb, the ministries bolts to be able to force savings, will fail to aim at the Paris climate protection. I don’t understand why you want to do without when it comes to climate protection on rationality, feasibility and openness to new technologies.“
Schulze wants to regulate by law how much areas such as transport, industry or agriculture must reduce their greenhouse gas emissions every year, so that Germany meets its climate protection target for 2030 – 55% less greenhouse gases than in 1990, and the requirements of the EU. Concrete measures to ensure you leave in your design, the technical departments. This applies especially to colleagues from the Union transport Minister, Andreas Scheuer (CSU), Minister for economic Affairs, Peter Altmaier (CDU), Minister of agriculture, Julia Klöckner (CDU) and construction Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU).
group Vice-Georg Nüßlein (CSU) told the German press Agency that the coalition would be better to proceed step by step. “Now we need to set the path for an economically and socially acceptable exit strategy from Coal. Then it comes to concrete, rapid action in all sectors.“ In the building sector about the tax incentives for the energy renovation was overdue, in the field of transport, a plan for alternative fuels is necessary.

German economy Minister Altmaier, the “image” (Saturday) said the “unilateral” approach to Schulze’s serving neither the climate protection and the preservation of jobs. “The theme is suitable for personal or party-political profiling.”

Carsten Schneider, the Parliamentary Manager of the SPD group in the Bundestag, do not understand the criticism of the coalition partner. Schulze put a law on the implementation of the Paris climate agreement, he said the “Passauer Neue Presse” (Saturday). “The CDU and CSU seem to get afraid of your own Courage.” In order to achieve the climate protection targets in the individual areas, so in the construction, transport or agriculture, are required, the competent Minister Horst Seehofer, Andreas Scheuer and Julia Klöckner. “It seems as if you don’t want to deliver, and their responsibility for the climate. Therefore, I call on Angela Merkel if she still sees itself as the climate Chancellor, your Minister to work to stop.“ This is also a question of credibility and enforcement ability for the Chancellor.
criticism of the Green
the aim of the as a classified historical Paris climate agreement in 2015 to limit global warming to below two degrees compared to pre-industrial times. Now has warmed up the earth after the Findings of the IPCC by about a degree, in Germany even stronger.
criticism of the Union also came from Greens leader Robert Habeck. With a view to the CDU-Boss Annegret Kramp-karrenbauer, who had warned at the end of January in front of a deindustrialisation in the Wake of climate protection, he said in the Germany radio: “Oh, dearie me, so if there is a danger of de-industrialisation at all, by a lack of climate protection, because we cling to the wrong, old, not more competitive industries.” The Absurd is that agriculture itself and also the automotive industry itself had been more. “Behind their hands, all the managers talk to all the farmers about how we can make the change. We have the crazy Situation that the CDU will slow down the change.“
